Arnold was our family of the heart, he was my Dad's (Bill Hitchcock) best man in his wedding and they had a special friendship for over 70 years. I loved his sweet smile, his infectious laugh and his wonderful stories. He will always hold a special place in my heart, I know he is in Heaven with his Heavenly Father, reunited with Della and Mom and Dad. I will cherish my memories until we see each other again.

What a wonderful friend I had in Mr. Adams. He and I worked together for many years at Combustion . He was a kind and caring gentleman and I admired him very much. On Christmas Day for many, many years I called to wish him a Merry Christmas. I will miss that call. May he rest in Peace!

A great friend is difficult to find, and Arnold was a true and loyal friend to me and all my family for as long as I can remember. I will miss him but know that he is now reunited with his dear wife, Della, and all his loved ones. Will always remember the stories he would tell about growing up in St Elmo with my father..."Flatwheel." Ginny (Hitchcock) Young
